| Summary |
By examining the Chinese party-state's governance methods, this report illustrates how human rights abuses are being carried out in Xinjiang and by whom. Xinjiang's bureaucratic inner workings fit a wider pattern of authoritarian rule in China. Some of Xinjiang's governance tools are also being replicated elsewhere. Further research should be conducted on the psychological drivers of China's mass political campaigns, the collective trauma they generate and their social implications. Without a fundamental reckoning inside the party-state system, as well as a wider rethink of race relations and settler-colonialism across Chinese society, the campaign policies in Xinjiang are unlikely to be fully unwound; nor are the wrongs of the two campaigns likely to be redressed |
